THE ENGLISH SPARROW.
Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-The forth
coming report of the Department of Agri-
culture on the English sparrow will be
very interesting document. It will con-
tain about 400 printed pages, which
will appear the experiences of about 5000
people with this destructive little rascal.
| It is doubtful if there is another bird in
the world so unanimously condemned as
a nuisance as this alien. DR.. Merriam,
~ If lo rfT
has charge of the preparation of the re
port, says that the indictment against
| the sparrow is q terrible one. He has
scarcely friend in the whole country
In California he is hated as cordially as
the Chinese; but while it is admitted that
the Monaghan may be made useful citi-
zen there is not even monOpolistic en-
| ploYer of cOOIie labor who can see the
slightest use IN the sparrow. He is &C
cused of doing frightful damage to the
VINEYARDS of the Pacific slope. He always
selects the most luscious punches Of
grapes, and he invariably sticks bis bill
! into the very best berries on the bunch.
Farmers VINO devote their time to the cul-
tivation of grain report that the sparrOws,
wherever they are thick, do frightful
damage to cereals. Market gardeners and
the raisers of small fruits. in the vicinity
of cities, say that since the sparrows
began to multiply the profits of market
gardening have almost vanished. The
only known use for the pest IS suostl
tute for the reed birds. One man in AL
bany, n. Y, reports that he sells hun
dreds of dozens of sparrOWs every month
to the restaurants in that city where they
are served up to the New York legisla
tors as the tOothsome little thief Of the
southern rice fields. Sparrows make ex-
cellent table birds, and it is thought the
only effectual method of Curtailing theil
increase will be to induce the small boy:
to catch them for food purposes.
CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.
Special to the Gazette
WASHINGTON, April 29.-The medica
l journals of the country have been dis
i cussing for some time, and with grea
t deal of interest, cure for consumption
/ discovered by French physician in 1883
g This new treatment, from which so muc
is expected, consists of the Injection in
+. to the bowels of CarbOnic acid gas impreg
s mated with a small quantity of sulphur
= cited hydrogen. The theory is that thi
y gas is taken up through the venous syS
/ tenn and that the sulphur contained there
e in coming in contact with the suppurate
S portion of the lungs arrests the progress {
d the disease and in time effects cure. tn
i treatment has been tried by great man
physicians with wonderful results. fri
IN Philadelphia which makes specialt
of physicians supplies has begun tn
manufacture Of machinery for the gener'
ton of the necessary gases on larg
ID scale, and it is reported that physicians
% all parts OF the country have begun
ID order them. Your correspondent recen
